Fire that damaged social media influencer Spanian's kebab truck treated as suspicious
Authorities are treating a fire that burned a kebab truck in Melbourne's north as suspicious.
The food truck, which features the brand of social media influencer Spanian, was parked overnight at a car park on Bell St in Preston.
Firefighters were called to the site just after 3.45am on Saturday.
"Firefighters were able to get the incident under control very quickly and used thermal imaging technology to ensure all hotspots were fully extinguished before leaving the scene," a Fire Rescue Victoria spokesperson said.
The incident has been referred to police due to suspicious circumstances around the fire.
In a social media post, Spanian said the truck would be replaced and claimed any alleged offenders were hurting the local community.
"The owners of the trucks are people from your community," he said in a social media post.
"The trucks are part of their community and those people from your community save up for these trucks, and they have to pay for it."
